WINNIPEG, 18th January, 1887.

This tells the tale. Throughout the Do
minion Catholics and Protestants conduct
their separate schools, and draw government
money each year in proportion to the nuIn-
Der OF days they kept open schools the pre-
viou5 year and to the number of children iii
attendance. To an American this system
would seem utterly destructive OF all unity il
management, but the Canadians consider it
very neat way of avoiding tie religion, issue,
and claim that n practice it works well, ere
ating q generous rivalry IN getting children
into school. There is also mild compulsory
education law in force; and as ample pro
vision is made for ali, young Canada viii
soon be thoroughly educated. They Gay
well speak with enthusiasm, for their school
houses are certainly Lrss class, and expert
enccd teachers think their system good as
any in the world.
The Capitalization Of power in the Cauaiian
confederation was caused, to some extent, by
our civil war. The era from 1860 to 1870 ap-
pears to have been one of centraliziI:on all
over the world. There was an almost uni
versal feeling that local self government was
a luxury to be INDUCED in but spariagiy, G,id
q tendency toward tie integration CT power
and destruction OF small soyereigiI-
ties The United States seemed to
change from a confederacy to a nation,
Germany was unified and Italy consoii.I4i,d
While this tendency was at its height the
Canadian confederation was formed, so, Just
as our constitutional fathers resolved al t',g-
puted matters III favor of the states, sf,y, ilic-
ally enumerated the Federal powers ami Ieft

architects took the opposite course, enu.il,i-
ating the powers to be exercised by the ITO-
yinceS and comforting almost all other powers
on the Dominion. So we have or this con
tinent three startling anomalies: a so cali!
confederation is our most perfect specimen OF
Capitalization; Federal Union long coal-
tinued TO be, and Is once moro becoming q
states rights confederation, and those states

The s'British North American act" passed
IL 1867, allowed each province to keep its ex-
isting system Of local government, and the
result is a bewildering variety Of provincial
parliamentS. Ontario, Manitoba and British
Columbia have but one house each, the other
four provinces two each. In Nova Scotia,
New Brunswick and Quebec the senators are
appointed by the lieutenant governor, follow
ing the analogy of the dominion government.
but in Prince Edward Island they are
elected. Manitoba's single house consists of
S5 members, and British Columbia's of 2j
The lieutenant governor, executive council
and appointed officials possess in the province
powers analogous with those of the chief
officers of the dominion; and, as this Heuten-
ant governor Is appointed by the governor
general OF Ottawa, it appears after all that
this confederation has a rather CEN
GalIzed government. But on the other
hand, there is the ever present power
OF voting want Of confidence"
or Withholding the supplies" which proba-
bly, gives the representatives of the people
power enough. Florida is the only state in
the American Union in which the government
Is more centralized than in any British colony;
Tor there a county elects nothing but a
member Of the legislature, and the governor
and senate appoint everything else. IL the
governor of Florida were appointed by the
president, the analogy would be complete
except that one might safely swear there
would be no resigning for a mere "want OF
confidence"
So far the American reader is on toleraffy
familiar ground; but now comes feature of
the system which l cannot illustrate better
than by copying entire the posters lately
displayed on the dead walls of Winnipeg-as

The Conventions

Several members of the Republican National
Committee are here and there is much difference
ofopinion to the time and place for holding the
convention, which question is to be settled next
Friday by the committee in its session in this
city. Some favor an early day, while others
counsel delay even till after the Democratic
Convention is held. But the probability is that
the usual time, some date between June 20 and
July q, will be selected. Saratoga has many
advocates, as the most desirable place for the
convention, but the west will strongly insist on
Chicago. Philadelphia and Boston will also
make a strong effort to secure the convention.
The efforts being made in certain quarters to
secure the holding of the Democratic National
Convention in Washington meet with very little
favor among the most influential leaders OF that
party. The general opinion among them is that
this would be altogether unadvsable on account
ofthc presumption it would raise of undue inter
ference on the part Of the administration.
Quite a number Of leading Democrats are in
clned TO favor st. Louis for their next convent
ion,
